At CrossReach we have been at the forefront of high quality social care for over 150 years. Today, we are one of the largest providers in Scotland, with more than 1,800 staff and 65 services that include counselling, residential care and education. Together we offer support to all those who need a helping hand, so they can live life to the full whatever their circumstances.

In this newly developed and wide-ranging role, you will provide all-round support to our Chief Executive. This is an exciting opportunity to broaden your responsibilities in a position that covers administrative support, research, project management and managing a team of executive support staff.

Acting as the first point of contact for the CEO, you will manage her diary, deal with correspondence and ensure accurate filing of documents. You will also be responsible for the set-up of meetings, from confirming the timing, attendees and agenda to taking minutes and distributing communications. Working closely with the wider Corporate Management Team, this role will involve co-ordinating key projects, by producing timelines, ensuring follow-up actions are progressed and carrying out relevant research. In fact, research will be a key part of your duties, as you produce briefing papers for meetings, updates on social care policy and help to generate content for the annual report.

To apply, you will need a Higher/A-level or equivalent qualification in Business Administration or a similar subject. We’re also looking for excellent time management, organisation and communication skills gained from past experience in a senior secretarial or personal assistant role. A background in the social care industry is a distinct advantage.
